I looked him in the eye and said, “It’s either me or her.”
He stood there speechless, so I went on: “For all these years, I’ve been cooking, cleaning, and doing your laundry for free, yet you’ve never shown me an ounce of gratitude. If you’re such an expert on gratitude, then show it to your mom—by taking care of her all by yourself.”
It’s been three days since I left. My husband keeps calling, begging me to come back.
He says he’s completely overwhelmed, trying to manage both the housework and his mother’s care on his own. Now, I find myself wondering if I did the right thing. I don’t want to lose my marriage of eighteen years over this, but I also feel like I reached my breaking point.
Did I overreact by refusing to let my mother-in-law live with us? Am I being unreasonable? Source: brightside.me
